Identifying schools for support

We are seeking views on how we identify which schools should be eligible for an offer of support to help improve educational performance.

Detail

This consultation seeks views on proposals for a clearer, simpler approach to identifying schools that may benefit from an offer of support to help improve a school’s educational performance.

Our proposal is that all schools judged as ‘Requires improvement’ by Ofsted will be eligible for support, and that schools with 2 consecutive ‘Requires improvement’ judgements will be eligible for more intensive support.

To simplify accountability we are also proposing to remove floor and coasting data standards.
